- - first get picture (Scanner, Video Camera, etc.) in PCX format
-
- - save or rename captioned picture in the following format:
- 'LFyymmdd.PCX' where
- 'L' represents Last Name's initial
- 'F' represents First Name's initial
- 'yy' year of birth
- 'mm' month of birth
- 'dd' day of birth
- - to save a picture edited by DOCTOR SOFT, just press F2 while on the
- picture screen.
- - to print the picture you first have to call the DOS graphic driver before
- starting DRS
- Ex: C:\DOS>GRAPHICS GRAPHICS/R
- (you can insert the graphic call instruction in AUTOEXEC.BAT)
- after driver is loaded simply press the 'Print Scn' key.

- > TIPS
- ----------------------------------------
- - For most efficiency start with 'DEFINITIONS' and insert your most used
- Procedures, Diagnosis, Medication, Allergies etc.
- - Each Definition has a short name (LOCATOR), a code and description -
- designate a significant name for each locator.
- - If a SUPERBILL will be routinely used, assign (in the 'DEFINITIONS' module)
- the most common diagnostics and procedures (generally about 40 / 60).
- - For proper 'Mail-merge' on the RECALL letter use the following commands
- when typing the letter:
-
- ##@1 \
- ##@2 |---> Patient label (name, address, city)
- ##@3 /
-
- Dear ##&1 |---> Patient name ('Mr.' or 'Ms.' is included)
-
- A short sample letter ('RCL.TXT') is included.
- - Start PATIENT file by inserting patients currently under treatment and new
- ones.
- - All Charges are automatically generated by VISIT.
- - All billed Payments and/or Adjustments are automatically assigned to the
- Doctor's account.
- - For the integrity of accounting data, the billed transactions (Charges or
- Payments) can NOT be altered from within the system, however by using a
- different transaction number (Ex. Visit # 2, etc.) you have both
- flexibility and complete control, without the danger of messing up
- financial statements.
